hi x?fields,
Was walking down the High Street yesterday, when suddenly I had
to cross the road 'cos the pavement was blocked off... we've already
heard that Urtrophia have been gifted the place next door, but what's
going on in the old Job Centre, anyone know? Is it:
a) Tescos Expensive (TM)
b) Another much needed betting opportunity
c) A pop-up, bleeding-edge Art Hub & Organic Coffee Regeneration
Experience, hosted by Brass Neck in association with
Cathedral/Galliard/Galliford Try.

?
- best,

There may be an option d). Readers may have spotted that the first thing that happens when an Olympic site or event is being built is the sudden appearance of hoardings. It may turn out to be the site of the Olympic Urban Parcours events. In this event, teams compete against each other to gain the upper hand for control of a building.

Alternatively, we suspect it may be the first stage in this development in which they build one café and get one free next door.

Planning permission is in for 120-122 Deptford High Street for a restaurant. The agent is Brown and Pletts LLP, architects based at The Old Truman Brewery in Shoreditch, and they're applying for change of use from office (Use Class B1) to restaurant (Use Class A3). Applicant is Suntrust 134 Capita SIPP Services.

Well spotted DD. Looks like Utrophia haven't got too long in that space then. The hoardings on the McDonald Egan building may be just there to protect the property perhaps? So eventually we'll have two restaurants next door to each other?

Not necessarily - according to the planning documents, the ground floor property of 124 can also be occupied by retail, which is what the current owner intends to do with it. Hopefully not another Tesco Express :-(
